Costa Coffee, a brand under Coca-Cola in India's commercial beverage sector, recently celebrated the opening of its 150th store in Rajouri Garden, New Delhi. This milestone reflects Costa Coffee's commitment to providing exceptional coffee experiences to its customers across the country.
Costa Coffee made its debut in the Indian market in 2005 by opening its first café in Connaught Place, New Delhi. Over the past year, in partnership with Devyani International, Costa Coffee initiated a significant expansion in India, introducing approximately 60 new stores.
The brand's ongoing objective is to establish new outlets in the top 8-10 cities in India, with a particular focus on specialized locations such as airports, highways, and healthcare facilities. This expansion is part of a broader transformation in India's coffee sector, with a growing emphasis on specialty coffee and premium offerings. Urban millennials, in particular, have played a significant role in turning coffee shops into vibrant social spaces, leading to a notable shift in a nation traditionally associated with tea culture.
The 150th Costa Coffee outlet exemplifies the brand's dedication to offering artisanal coffee crafted from locally sourced ingredients. The menu features a diverse selection of distinctive coffee creations, including popular choices like the Flat White, Classic Corto, Café Caramela, and more, all prepared using locally-sourced coffee beans.
Costa Coffee's General Manager for India & Emerging Markets, Vinay Nair, expressed the brand's commitment to expanding its presence across India: "India is a key market for us globally, and we are proud to commemorate the opening of our 150th store. This milestone truly highlights the overwhelming love and support we have received from coffee enthusiasts across India. Our aim is to extend our presence to every corner of the nation, ensuring remarkable coffee experiences for all."
Furthermore, Costa Coffee's Global CEO, Philippe Schaillee, emphasized the brand's focus on India, stating that it is one of the "priority" markets. Schaillee shared that Costa Coffee plans to add around 50 speciality coffee stores every year in India. The brand believes that India's growth potential is substantial, with a shift towards coffee consumption from tea and rising disposable incomes as key drivers.
To support its expansion, Costa Coffee is not limited to larger cities but is exploring opportunities in segments such as travel hubs, including airports, train stations, and office campuses. The brand's agility enables it to adapt to changing circumstances, ensuring a sustainable and successful growth strategy.
India's coffee market is poised for significant growth, and Costa Coffee is well-positioned to capture a share of this expanding market. With its dedication to quality coffee and a commitment to delivering unique experiences, Costa Coffee is on a mission to bring the rich flavors of coffee to every corner of India.

Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru has unveiled its “101 Days of Summer” campaign, a property-wide seasonal residency running from May 1 to August 31, 2026, celebrating Bengaluru’s summer culture through immersive culinary, beverage, and stay experiences.
Part of the global Four Seasons seasonal activation, the Bengaluru edition has been thoughtfully adapted to reflect the city’s Garden City identity, combining nostalgic summer traditions with luxury hospitality experiences curated specifically for the local landscape and climate.
The campaign transforms the hotel into a summer sanctuary, offering guests a slower and more experiential approach to the season through artisanal food, botanical beverages, alfresco moments, and curated staycations.
At the centre of the experience is an artisanal gelateria concept featuring a vintage-inspired summer cart that recreates nostalgic frozen treats with a luxury twist. Signature offerings include the Java Plum in the Promenade Sorbet and the Coastal Cream Magnum Bar, both inspired by familiar regional summer flavours. The hotel’s Sunday brunches at CUR8 will also feature rotating artisanal gelatos and elaborate summer sundaes designed around seasonal indulgence.
The beverage programme introduces a specially curated “Garden City Collection” featuring cocktails and mocktails inspired by Bengaluru’s botanical heritage. Drinks such as the Nandi Hills Spritz and Silk Route Summer Float incorporate local ingredients and handcrafted elements, while the “Temperance Trail” mocktail collection offers non-alcoholic interpretations rooted in regional flavours.
Complementing the beverage programme is a dedicated Mango Residency at the Lobby Lounge celebrating India’s most iconic summer fruit. Guests can experience a mango-themed afternoon tea, Alphonso Mango Kulfi, and a range of seasonal desserts and beverages inspired by regional orchards and summer traditions.
Beyond dining, the campaign also positions Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru as a luxury urban retreat through curated summer staycations. Garden suites, poolside experiences, wellness offerings, and leisurely dining moments have been designed to encourage guests to embrace a relaxed and immersive summer lifestyle within the city.
Signature touches such as floral-inspired beverages, alfresco lounging, and poolside culinary experiences further reinforce the property’s vision of blending Bengaluru’s local identity with the global luxury ethos of the Four Seasons brand.
